RPA participated as an exhibitor/sponsor for the 2026 Tennessee Ambulatory Surgery Center Association (TASCA) Fall Conference and Trade Show in Knoxville, Tennessee.
As the only medical physics consulting group at the conference, we discussed physics compliance and oversight needs with dozens of surgery center leaders from Tennessee and surrounding states.
3 TASCA Takeaways for RPA
1. Our Local Expertise and Lasting Commitment Benefits Surgery Center Clients
RPA is committed to serving our community. That’s why our consultants live and work in the region we serve. As one of the Southeast’s only dedicated medical physics consulting groups, we focus on serving client facilities located within five hours of Nashville—the very same geographic area whose surgery center leadership participated in the TASCA conference.
2. Qualified Expertise in Diagnostic Medical Physics Consulting Adds Value
RPA’s medical physics consultants offer deep expertise across multiple modalities – never relying on inexperienced radiological physics data collectors. When an RPA physicist provides X-ray inspections or Radiation Safety Officer Administrator oversight for a surgery center client facility, they are fully qualified to consult on the specific modality that needs inspection. Because our team is cross-trained in multiple areas, they often can address other questions or needs in a single visit, making the surgery center team’s job easier and compliance process smoother.
3. Participating with Surgery Center Leaders Fosters Connection
The TASCA Conference helped RPA share with surgery center leaders how our Radiation Safety Officer Administrator (RSOA) oversight program offers guidance and oversight in radiation protection that can benefit Tennessee surgery center facilities required to maintain oversight for the use of their registered X-ray equipment. We also connected with current and prospective clients about X-ray and Protective Equipment inspection services. By joining conference sessions, our team benefited from deeper understanding of the current and evolving surgery center industry environment.
What’s Next?
RPA is using the knowledge gained at the 2026 TASCA Conference to enhance our services for surgery center clients. Are you a surgery center leader who would like to learn more about our RSOA program or physics inspection services? If you’re looking for a long-term partner you can trust, want more transparent and affordable service, or prefer working with a local team that genuinely understands your needs, RPA is ready to serve you.
